Lyss Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Is it okay to put sheet metal over rusted out holes under the back passenger seats and right below the gas pedal on the drivers side? I knew those spots would get rusted out but is it alright to just patch them up with sheet metal? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Why wouldn't it be? I had to almost completely re-sheet my 88's floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyss Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 Idk, i kinda just ripped up all the carpeting and took the seats out and stuff completely out of boredom, and when i started cutting the sheet metal my dad said that it would rust really easily and i needed something else? Just curious. I didnt think id have a problem though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Yeah, once you install the new don't just leave it bare metal, spray some primer, paint and undercoating on the bottom, and prime and paint the top. Be sure to cut ALL the rust out or it will come back via what ever is left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
